Ear Surgery (Otoplasty)

Ear surgery, also known as otoplasty or ear pinning, is a surgical procedure designed to correct protruding or prominent ears by repositioning them closer to the head. Otoplasty can be performed on both adults and children, typically over the age of five, and is commonly chosen to improve facial balance and confidence. Patients in Salt Lake City, Utah often seek otoplasty for long-lasting, natural-looking results.

Otoplasty may help improve:

  • Protruding or prominent ears
  • Ear shape or symmetry
  • Facial balance and proportion
  • Self-confidence in children and adults

During your consultation, Dr. Vincent will discuss your goals and determine if ear surgery is the right option for you or your child.

Ear Surgery (Otoplasty) FAQs

  • The improvement from surgery is readily apparent, although the final result will not be evident for several weeks due to swelling and other natural changes that are a result of healing.

    Swelling and bruising are normal, but usually disappear within a week or so. Patients usually return to full activity by the end of two weeks, although it is necessary to protect the ears from trauma or bending until healing is more complete. For this reason, a headband will often be recommended for a period of time after the surgery. Most patients are back to work or school in one to two days. Discomfort is mild and rarely is pain medication required.

Treatment overview

At Vincent Surgical Arts, several plastic and reconstructive surgeons offer face lift surgery. The most common technique used involves an SMAS face lift (a submuscular aponeurotic system face lift).
